A copper statue has a volume of $35 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ and a mass of $312.9 \mathrm{~g}$. Work out the density of the statue. Give your answer to 2 d.p.

Step 1 ：Given the mass of the copper statue as \(m = 312.9 \mathrm{~g}\) and the volume as \(V = 35 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\).

Step 2 ：Use the formula for density: \(\rho = \frac{m}{V}\).

Step 3 ：Plug in the given values: \(\rho = \frac{312.9}{35}\).

Step 4 ：Calculate the density: \(\rho = 8.94 \mathrm{~g/cm}^{3}\).

Step 5 ：\(\boxed{\rho = 8.94 \mathrm{~g/cm}^{3}}\)
